Issue 6
On January 19, 2010 a
group of 8 tribal youth
held the first Tigua Youth
Council Meeting. Ysleta
del Sur Pueblo has had
prior youth councils but
has not had an active one
in recent years. Interest in
developing a Youth Coun-
cil came about as a result
of Tribal Youth being ex-
posed to Nation Building
through several trainings
hosted by the Economic
Development Department.
After learning about Na-
tion Building, young tribal
members became interest-
ed in developing a youth
council to apply what they
have learned to help their
communities. The Youth
Council is open for all
Tribal Member and Des-
cendent Youth who are in
grades 7 through 12 and
are enrolled in school.
The Tigua Youth
Council will be sponsored
by the Economic Devel-
opment Department, The
Empowerment Depart-
ment and Tribal Council.
The sponsors will be pro-
viding guidance and train-
ing to help the Youth
Council create their own
goals, provide input into
their futures, and become
future tribal leaders.
At the first meeting the
participants discussed fu-
ture projects which in-
cluded helping elders in
the Tigua community,
making efforts to learn
Tiwa language, and
representing the Pueblo at
national tribal youth coun-
cil events. Currently the
Tigua Youth Council is
working on developing
their by-laws and will be
holding fundraisers for
future events.
Tribal youth hold their first meeting of the
Tigua Youth Council on January 19, 2010.
The first 8 members of the Tigua Youth Council
pose at the Tribal Empowerment Center.
